Imagine

Imagine a firm

Without a vision, a mission

And a target market

Imagine a firm just wearing a name,

A firm producing nothing,

What kind of firm is this?

My mind ponders

Imagine an artiste on stage

And all we hear is, silence!

An artiste now a statue,

And a concert now an exhibition,

But, what kind of concert is this?

And of what use is the stage

If not for a performance?

Imagine a novel,

With a title so captivating

And a design so inviting

But, the pages are filled with nothing!

What kind of novel is this?

My mind ponders,

A novel without a substance

A novel that shatters my dream

Imagine a life

Without a vision, a mission

And a target market

Imagine a life just consuming

And not producing

Imagine a life just on stage,

With so much to impact and touch the world

Yet nothing to show,

Imagine a life titled for greatness

But alive with empty pages

There's something more to life

Than hustling and trying to survive

There's something more to life

Than working and staying alive

Imagine a life just on earth,

Staying alive,

Until the clarion call of death...

We're all made for purpose

With so much invested in us

And,

A great life is one

That dazzles the creator
